Wanda Cooper-Jones, the mother of slain 25-year-old jogger Ahmaud Arbery, wants to know why William Roddy Bryan, the neighbor who filmed the viral video of her son being shot, didn’t try and help.
“Why would you videotape it? Why didn’t he do anything to help? Why didn’t he reach out right after the shooting? Why did he only come forward after the video was leaked?” Cooper-Jones asked in a recent interview.
Bryan told CBS News he was trying to be a “good Samaritan” by recording the incident and says he has been “complete shock” since witnessing Arbery’s alleged murder.
“I had nothing to do with it,” Bryan said. “I am trying to get my life back to normal, and it’s been smeared for the last week. I was told I was a witness and I am not sure what I am.”
Lee Merritt, an attorney working with Cooper-Jones said, Bryan “is a liar… launching a campaign to clear his name.” Merritt believes Bryan needs to be held accountable.
